My family loves macaroni and cheese. It’s one of the five food groups right? After my Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese recipe was such a huge hit with the family I knew I had to beef the recipe up a bit for the men in the family.

Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese is fine for a side dish but when you add a pound or so of browned ground beef  you have a warm and cheesy main course meal that will make everyone in the family happy.

How to make Crock Pot Beefy Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

• 1.5 pounds browned ground beef (about 3 cups)

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
